You heard wrong. They were united early AM today not to ride, and only two ended up not riding.
Arlington is very very stressful right now as the polytrack debate is hot right now. I saw two trainers talking (arguing) about the effects of polytrack. One loved it and the other talked about horses being really muscle sore on it. I am not a trainer so I have no idea, Chuck would
One trainer went right up to Mr. D and said "Mr. D, the track is like a pillow, it is beautiful"
As I heard Mr. D say, what happened to Rene and Mike was because of race riding, the horses did not break down. You can't control clipped heels or a heart attack.
